The tourist service at Rustrel :
The tour of Provençale Colorado by mountain bike is technically manageable but has many uphill sections, resulting in a very physical journey. But it’s totally worth it!
This tour allows you to take full advantage of the unusually coloured terrain, but you can also enjoy the beautiful views from the peaks of the Caseneuve plateau or across the Monts-de-Vaucluse. A must see!
Caution:
•The heart of the Rustrel ochre site, which is very popular but particularly fragile, is essentially private and reserved for visitors on foot (No mountain bikes allowed!).
• Beware of the livestock guardian dogs on the peaks
• Control your downhill speed; you may not be the only person on these paths!
